Probably nothing

The panic has subsided, a problem shared! The pins and needles isn't daily and most likely more about a stiff neck due to exercise. But I'm still a bit worried. The NHS feels very far away.
I haven't had a reply from anyone about MRI scans here and yesterday a colleague was complaining about the terrible insurance we have.
I am good at pushing this all to one side. My significant other is the world champion.

It's all about me

What a week, much like others I have had but still I think remarkable. I went back to work and survived, but the bit that won't leave me this week is the conversation with my neurosurgeon.

The pins and needles in my arm are not about my brain but my spine.

Today, Sunday, my parents will arrive and then my father will go to Barts, again and then to The Royal, again and then, all being well to the operating theatre to have another spinal tumour removed.

You can see the remarkable connection.

He is going through this and I am thinking of me.
